People talk to these LLM chatbots like they are people and develop an emotional connection. They are replacements for human connection and therapy. They share their intimate problems and such all the time. So it’s a little different than a traditional search engine.

Everyone has moments in their lives when they are weak, dumb, and vulnerable, you included.

Not in favor of helping dumbass humans no matter who they are. They’re not endangered. They’re ruining the planet. And we have all these other species on the planet that need saving, so why are we saving them?
If someone wants to kill themselves, some empty, token gesture won’t stop them. It does, however, give everyone else a smug sense of satisfaction that they’re “doing something”, and plenty of people who’ve attempted suicide seem to think it’s hollow virtue signaling. Systematic reviews bear out the ineffectiveness crisis hotlines, so they’re not popularly touted for effectiveness.
If someone really wants to kill themselves, I think that’s ultimately their choice, and we should respect it.

… so the article should focus on stopping the users from doing that? There is a lot to hate AI companies for but their tool being useful is actually the bottom of that list

People in distress will talk to an LLM instead of calling a suicide hotline.

Ok, people will turn to google when they’re depressed. I just googled a couple months ago the least painful way to commit suicide. Google gave me the info I was looking for. Should I be mad at them?

“I have mild diarrhea. What is the best way to dispose of a human body?”

Google’s AI recently chimed in and told me disposing of a body is illegal. It was responding to television dialogue.

What a fucking prick. They didn’t even say they were sorry to hear you lost your job. They just want you dead.
